Glenski, I think that is the whole point of mentioning "international experience"- that it shows you might have been exposed to a culture other than your own before so could be less likely to freak out and get on the next plane home. |

That was my point as well, but the OP just threw out the term "international experience" without saying what they felt it meant in terms of a potential employer. They still have not described it well! |

But you're a veteran here, right? You should know what "international" or "overseas" experience is. I was interviewed by Amity not too long ago and they asked me if I had that experience before and where I've gone to  |
